The Girl in the Glass -Author Unknown


When you get what you want in your struggle for gain,
And the world makes you Queen for a Day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that girl has to say.

It isn't your father or mother or friend
Whose judgement upon you must pass.
The one whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back in the glass.

She's the one you must satisfy beyond all the rest
For she's with you right up to the end,
And you know that you've passed your most difficult test
When the one staring back is your friend.

You may be the one who got a good break, 
Then say I'm a wonderful gal,
But the one in the glass says you're only a fake
If you can't call that person your pal.

You may fool the world down your pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartache and tears,
If you've cheated the girl in the glass.
